OMER GUITTARD, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.

GLOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 237,011, dated January 25, 1881.

` Application filed May 24, 1880. v (Model.)

, ing is a specification.

My invention relates toan improved shape given vto the blanks, or the pattern by which the skin or leather is cut to form the different parts of a glove before being sewed together; by which improvement, rst, great economy of material is effected; second, the seams of the glove are brought yin such a position as to be the Aleast objectionable to the wearer; third, the glove is made stronger and more serviceable, especiallyin glo ves subject to hard usage, as in the ease of driving and Working gloves.

In the accompanying drawings I show the outlines of the patterns of the four pieces forming the glove, and alsotwo views ofthe glove sewed together, one view of the palm side and one view of the back side.

Figure 1 outlines the pattern of the palm and back of the glove with the back side of all the fingers and the palm side of the, lirst and fourth. Fig. 2 outlines the pattern for the thumb-pieces. Fig. 3 outlines the pattern for the palm side and sides of the second tnger. Fig. 4 outlines the pattern for the palm side andsides of the third finger. Fig. 5 is the palin view of the glove sewed together. Fig. 6 is the back view of same.

In thepattern shown by Fig. 1, A is the palm side of fourth inger. B is the palm side of iirst finger. C is the back side of first fmger, D of the second, E 'of the third, and F .0f the fourth. G is thehole for the thumb to pass through, and H is a Hap-piece, left to sew against the inside of the thumb to re-enforce the glove in the crotch between the thumb and first finger. I in Fig. 5 marks` where the seam comes upon the second and third fingers.

In forming a glove after the patterns shown it will be found that none of the seams come either ou the palm side or between the ngersa very good point in either heavy skin working-gloves or in dress'gloves, as there is much discomfort in having the seams come between the fingers-and when the seams are made on the palm side the glove has a stiff unyielding feeling.

The flap-piece H is of great benefit in reenforcing the seam at a point very liable to rip open either in working, driving, or dress gloves.

The gloves made after my plan may of' course be bound and finished ofi' in any suitable style and made of the usual materials employed in glove-making.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:

A glove formed of the four parts or blanks l, 2, 3, and 4, sewed together, blank lforming the palm side and back of glove, with the back of the four fingers and palm side of first and fourth fingers, blank 2 forming complete thumb, and blanks 3 and 4. 'forming palm and side of second and third lingers, all substantially as herein described and shown.
